CHAPTER 24.

AN Act to amend the Colonial Attorneys Relief Act.

[3rd July, 1884.

WHEREAS it is expedient to extend the provisions of the Colonial Attorneys Relief Act as to certain colonies or dependencies:

Be it therefore enacted by the Queen’s Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

1. Upon application made by the Governor or person exercising the functions of Governor of any of Her Majesty’s colonies or dependencies, and after it has been shown to the satisfaction of Her Majesty’s Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies that the system of jurisprudence as administered in such colony or dependency answers to and fulfils the conditions specified in section three of the Colonial Attorneys Relief Act, and also that the attorneys and solicitors of the superior Courts of law or equity in England are admitted as attorneys and solicitors in the superior Courts of law and equity of such colony or dependency, on production of their certificates of admission in the English Courts, without service in the colony or dependency, or examination, except in the laws of the colony or dependency in so far as they differ from the laws of England, Her Majesty may from time to time, by Order in Council, direct the Colonial Attorneys Relief Act to come into operation as to such colony or dependency, although persons may in certain cases be admitted as attorneys or solicitors in such colony or dependency without possessing all the qualifications for admission, or having fulfilled the conditions specified in the said section three; and thereupon, but not otherwise, the provisions of the Colonial Attorneys Relief Act shall apply to persons duly admitted as attorneys and solicitors in such colony or dependency after service and examination; that is to say, no attorney or solicitor of any such colony or dependency shall be admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court in England unless, in addition to the requirements of the Colonial Attorneys Relief Act, he prove by affidavit that he has served for five years under articles of clerkship to a solicitor or attorney-at-law in such colony or dependency, and passed an examination to test his fitness or capacity, before he was admitted an attorney or solicitor in such colony or dependency, and further that he has since been in actual practice as attorney or solicitor in such colony or dependency for the period of seven years at the least.
